Stuff I want to get from Napster

[hiddenmuse]

I've been thinking of getting a few new tunes from Napster - and I thought I'd get some suggestions/ideas while I was at it.

Here's what I'm looking to get:

Elvis Costello - "Alison"
Betty - "It Girl"
Sebadoh - "Round And Round" (yes, as in Ratt's "Round And Round". This is an acoustic version, apparently.)
Petra Hayden - "I Can See For Miles And Miles"

Maybe even some more Lewis Black comedy. I've practically memorized the "IHOP" piece ... could use some more new stuff.


Since my musical tastes are all over the place (disco, country, metal, emo, punk, jazz) - I'd love to see what you have to suggest! :-)

If it weren't for my horse....

I love Lewis. *squeezes him till he can't breathe* I saw him live in Raleigh back in 2003, was supposed to see him right here in Asheville last spring but he cancelled (and I had front row seats!!! Oh, the disappointment). He's da man. (Which reminds me, I have to order his book.)

I've been really into Nellie McKay lately. She's this smart, precocious, 19-year-old girl born in London, raised in New York. Her music is kinda folky (which I'm usually not that into), but different. Songs recommended are "David", "Ding-dong", and "The Dog Song".

They Might Be Giants "Birdhouse in Your Soul", "We Want A Rock", "They'll Need A Crane", and "Anna Ng." Also, "I Palindrome I", "Mammal", "The Statue Got Me High", "Dinner Bell" (It's about Pavlov!), "Don't Let's Start" and "Rhythm Section Want Ad".

*consulting the iPod*

Reverend Horton Heat "Loco Gringos Like A Party" (Rockabilly/Psychobilly)

Coheed and Cambria "A Favor House Atlantic" (Emo)

Ween "Ocean Man" (Alternative/College Rock)

Weezer "The Good Life" (Alternative/College Rock)

White Town "I Could Never Be Your Woman" (Alternative)

Burning Airlines "Outside the Aviary" (Emo)

Anything by The Dismemberment Plan. I heart them. They are college rock/indie rock but very QUIRKY.

Furneral Oration "I Fall Harder" and "Stop For A Moment" (Punk)

The Killers "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside" (80's emoish)

Meat Puppets "Lake of Fire" and "Plateau" (80's college rock made famous by Nirvana)

Operation Ivy "The Crowd" and "Sound System" (Punk)

CARBON LEAF! ;) I suggest downloading anything from their new album, or, go to Amazon.com and download their 2nd newest(well, 3rd if you count the live album) album, Echo Echo, for free. Or, DL anything from my list of suggestions:

American Tale
The Boxer
Desperation Song
On Any Given Day
Torn to Tattered
Life Less Ordinary
Home
Blue Ridge Laughing
Raise the Roof
Let Your Troubles Roll By
When I'm Alone

One Prairie Outpost

Actually, you can go to their website (http://www.carbonleaf.com) and hear some stuff from their newest album and then decide if you want to spend your money on it ;)

You can grab the Petra Hayden, along with some other bizarre covers, here:

You should try to get on that fairly quickly since songs usually aren't available for more than a week and that was posted yesterday. While you're there I recommend getting Holly Beth Vincent's cover of the Dixie Cups' "Chapel Of Love." It's rockin'.

I've been on a chick music thing lately, so here are some of my favorites in heavy rotation right now that I think you might like, if you don't already have them:

"At Last"-Etta James
"Nothing Compares 2 U"-Sinead O'Connor
"Rhythm Nation"-Janet Jackson
"You Outta Know"-Alanis Morissette
"Hittin' On Nothing"-Irma Thomas
"D-I-V-O-R-C-E"-Tammy Wynette
"Headphones"-Bjork
"Midsummer New York"-Yoko Ono
"Day 37"-Alison Pipitone
"Tiptoe"-Ani DiFranco

secondly, you know about Betty?!? You're the only other person I know - besides me - who knows about Betty. I'm so impressed.
